That things an absolute pile! I'm feeling generous today so Ill offer you $3k and a case of beer of your choosing... (But seriously, that things badass! You and @Klever have some purdy dent sides in your garages)

I totally agree. I'm just wondering what the average cost/expense is. Obviously someone that lives far away from the "trailhead" is going to spend more in gas, as well as other variables, but im just curious how much people are dropping on a trip.

Speaking as someone with a (1st gen) 4runner on leaf springs and a cantilever, I'd go links ALLLLLL day long. Dgaf if its 'only' 18"-20" of travel. Link it! Plus I hear links pull bitches... [that said, Im super happy with the back of my 4runner, I just hate dealing with heavy-ass leaf springs...

Some of this ^. Im curious how much other people/groups spend on their trips. I realize how that can differ based on the trip, but Im just talking on average. For me, a normal 3-4 day "prelanding" trip is probably somewhere in the $200-$300 range? Usually 2/3 of my budget is gas, and the rest...

Saw that thing on CL for a while, always thought it was/is a badass truck!

I forgot about "gilbert grape" lol. And a saturn that ran for all of a month or 2.

I used to be a die hard ford fanboy in my younger days. Had a few early 90s rangers and explorers, but something about that ohv 4.0 and I didnt get along. Engine rebuilds and cracked heads, radiators and power steering pumps, things (explorers) were total garbage. I wasnt even that mean to them...

So umm, do you have anymore pics/info on that van?

I dont know man, I did it for years and it sucked every single time haha. Ive been trying to wake up between 0500-0530 and workout and FML its been a challenge haha.

Briggs is badass. Stayed there a couple of times now and its always been great. And theres also the other cabin a stones throw away (if briggs is snagged/claimed). Not sure what the road to it looks like now, but the last time I was there, a 2wd (locked/spooled/or open) was NOT going to make it...

Weathers supposed to be windy AF (and cool) on Sat and Sun, bring something to keep your EZ-ups from flying.

I saw an ad for it on IG and got really excited. I love the stripped-down no-BS approach, and the part where they compare them in size to a mid 80s toyota p/u. The all-electric part kinda sucks, I wish they had a gas version available. The price point seems good (starting around $20k AFTER the...

^ Youre getting way better at photoshop @badlinesgoodtimes... it actually looks like you got off the ground in that pic! ^

https://forum.badlinesgoodtimes.com/threads/terra-crew-speed-metal-may-2nd-and-3rd.2303/ Like that one lol? Im planning on racing... to the event (lame "dad joke"?)

Dude wants $550 for used lights with the weatherpacks cut off?! Shiiiit, I didnt realize I was sitting on a GOLDMINE!
